Question

if the change in velocity increases, what happens to the acceleration during the same time period?
acceleration decreases.
acceleration increases.
acceleration becomes negative.
acceleration becomes steady.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time taken (\(a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\)). If the time period (\(\Delta t\)) remains the same and the change in velocity (\(\Delta v\)) increases, according to the formula, acceleration (\(a\)) will increase because the numerator of the fraction increases while the denominator stays constant.

Answer:

B. Acceleration increases.
